Paige’s List of Zombie Apocalypse & Dystopian Books

Our Facebook friend (and fellow reader), Paige, has created us a “zombie apocalypse” list (in honor of more “The Walking Dead” that started last night). In the mood for more zombies in book format? Some even have romance!! Those are my favorite.

She says:

I have an Apocalypse section on my Kindle …have MANY zombie recommendations! Maryse, please take over this list as you see fit. Hope this gives my fellow zombie fans a few options!!

Apocalyptic/Dystopian/Zombie Books (she hasn’t read ‘em all but these are in her Kindle + I’ve just added a TON more that have been recommended by our fellow readers!! Starting with Danielle who says: “I love Zombie books! I know of a few others…”):

The First Days: As the World Dies by Rhiannon Frater <— Terri recommends these saying: “An excellent Zombie Apocalypse series I don’t see on here is the As The World Dies trilogy by Rhiannon Frater. They’re so good!”

Aftertime (Luna Books) by Sophie Littlefield <— Valerie loves these! She says “You must put the Aftertime trilogy by Sophie Littlefield on the list (5+ stars for me). They were one of my top reads for 2011!! You must read, you won’t be disappointed!”

The Forest of Hands and Teeth series by Carrie Ryan
My Life as a White Trash Zombie series by Diana Rowland
Married With Zombies (Living with the Dead series) by Jesse Petersen
Feed (Newsflesh series) by Mira Grant
Rot and Ruin (Benny Imura series) by Maberry Jonathan

I’ve read the Maze Runner Trilogy, and the Matched books. Really enjoyed them!! Even better though were Divergent and Insurgent by Veronica Roth, and the Delirium Series by Lauren Oliver. (This one is about a society that sees love as a disease and everyone is “cured” of it as a teen!!) All YA dystopic with some great love interests too. In fact, Four from Divergent is one of my all time fave book boyfriends.

Kristy totally agree with you about Divergent, love Four! Haven’t had a chance to read Insurgent yet as my daughter is still reading it, she recommended the series and I think it’s one of my favorite YA dystopian series.

Thanks for the list, I’m a huge dystopian and zombie fan. I have some to add:
A New World series (there are now 9) by John O’Brien
The Starborn Saga trilogy by Jason D Morrow
Day by Day Armageddon series JL Bourne
Zombie Youth by H.E. Goodhue

Maryse -
I’m new to this blogging thing, but I found your page and I love it. I’ve been working on a novel for the last 3+ years and I think you’d like it. The book is called “The Enraged” You can check out my blog @ http://theenraged.blogspot.com/
My story is… The Enraged pulls you into the thrilling journey of Shay Donovan, an average American house wife, who finds herself alone during an unthinkable outbreak. Separated from family & friends, she must lean on strangers to help her escape from LA in a desperate attempt to find her family. Hoards of infected humans, hunt down the remaining survivors as the dark cloud of death continues to consume those around her. Shay finds herself in a world of kill or be killed & she becomes a killer.
I’d love to hear back from you.

until the end of the world series by Sarah Lyons Flemming is the best! Great characters and not your typical cheesy zombie book! Its actually probably my favorite series even outside the apocalyptic genre

About Me

I am happily addicted to reading but I need to expend my book energy (especially when one puts me in an emotional frenzy - SO fun!). So, I release my feelings about the stories, by writing them down here. It's my book therapy. [ read more ]
